COMPULSORY PILoTAcE.
Canadian Laws Favorlng Canadian
Vessels at Americans Expense.
Acase Where the Treaty Does Not
Afford Excuse.
Mackerei Scarce on Both Sides the
Famous Limit.
Especial to the Press. ]

HALIFAX, Aug 21.-Consul General Phe-
|iha has not yet received reply from the
6zznister of customs regarding the important
poSnt raised day or two ago as to the pay
msnt of pilotage fees by American fishing
vessels. The Consul General says that in
nraer to insure perfect equality Of flag, no
oempulsory pilotage should be levied from
any American vessel under 100 tons burthen.
- none is levied from Canadian vessels Of
the same tonnage, whereas, now. the pilotage
is cempulsory to all American craft over so
tons burthen. He further says that under
the 1918 treaty. Canada has no right what
ever to levy pilotage fees from American
fishing vessels putting into harbor for
shelter when the services Of pilots are not
required and not used. At the present time,
all american vessels of-evcr 80 tens coming
in to Halifax are compelled TO pay pilotage
fees, while the Canadian vessels under 120
tons are exempt Thus Canada discrimin-
ates against the United States. In the next
place, American fishing vessels running into
the mouth of the Halifax harbor to escape
the fury of storms, are refused clearance
until after they pay this fee, although they
not only do not obtain the services of pilot,
but do not even see one. The Consul Cen
eral is confident of gaining both points.
Most of the American mackeral fleet are
on their way home with small fares. 1t Is a
significant fact that the Canadian catches
inside the charmed limit are very little larger
than the American catch outside the limit.

Georgia in the Centennial.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Aug. Ex-Governor Gordon
has issued an address to the people of this
State, in which he says:
The constitutional centennial Will be the grand
jubilee of the people. Occurring in PHILADELPHIA
which is so full OF Revolutionary memories and
associations, the occasion will be fit one for in
creasng attachment TO the Union. forgetting all
sectional differences in recalling thea teachings
and the lab0rs of the fathers of the Republic Ii
is emnently proper that Georgia should be repre-
sented at this great gathering of the States. She
bore her full share in the formation of the Federal
Constitution. The executive of the State has no
fund which he can appropriate to secure a proper
representation at Philadelphia. Nor has the Leg
islature the authority to make an appropriation
for such purpose. have therefore deemed il
proper to call the attention of the people TO the
subject with the view to excite their interest and
to ask their cO-operatiOn.

there Is conspiracy in the New, England
League to beat Portland for the champion

year. Enough is already known to prove

and that they will continue to do so till the
cnd.-Mancheste Union.
Lynn can't afford TO fugle for games. The
only honorable way is to win game square,
ly. To try and steal that exhibition game
which the Portland manager kindly played
for the sole benefit of Lynn, would be meaner
than robbing blind man. Even though it
would be legally right IL would be morally
wrong to take that game from Portland. No
club would profit, by the steal more than
Lowell, but we don't want anything but

The Manchester Mirror is in error when
it says the PRESS will not recognize any
centre fielder but DAWN. Sheft1er's chances
in the second game last week were all easy OF
else we should not have said so. The Fort.

splendid player-a ine hitter, good base

valuable man for any team. but we do think
we have one in the same position who Is 3
little better than he is. Is there anything
very wrong in that?
